So I am thinking of solving this problem, but before I do I wanna know if my knowledge base is enough to solve it. The problem is from the IMO 2001 it is problem 3 so is supposed to be challenging. Did not start yet but hope to.

imo problems typically only require highschool math, barring calculus. as long as you know that, you should be fine

#

if it looks interesting to you then try it

Thats the problem I only have middle school knowledge. Thats why this is a combinatorial problem, they require less knowledge. But still, a lot of them require some stuff from high school which is the reason I am asking.

construct a scenario from which what you're trying to prove immediately follows
